The trainers were worth the extra money.. I had stock alerts set up from all retailers who sold these but they just weren't coming back in stock. So I ended up getting them through stock x. As much as I didn't want to pay over the odds I wanted the trainers. Stock X kept me fully updated and shipping was so quick. Box was in perfect condition and as described they were perfect condition. I adore these trainers & so glad I got them!

This item runs a full size big for me. However, my real frustration with the StockX is not about the sizing of the product —it is perfectly ok that sizing may vary acsross brands or even across different products of the same brand.I am highly frustrated, though, with the return policy of StockX. I paid this item exactly $161.69. When I want to file a return on the same day of the receipt of the item, Stock X offered that I could return the item at most for $ 95 something dollars.This is pretty much an unethical rip-off.I kindly ask the company to address my complaint.I will keep on writing this until the point that I know for sure that I should to with another venue of complaint for getting it resolved.

Adidas Originals - adidas Originals Handball Spezial gum sole trainers in red and white

Terrible quality. The insoles were not attached to the shoes, so I thought they were faulty.The insoles would come out when you take the shoes off and they were so flat and uncomfortable. Asos refunded my money for the shoes but not for the postage which was disappointing as I did not expect to get the faulty shoes. It will take time to order from Asos again.

Awful

Awful. One of the shoes I was sold was definitely a display shoe. The suede was ruined on this shoe and it was much more stretched out and larger than the other one. It actually doesn’t fit my foot. I think the shoes might come big, as the one that’s in better condition is abit oversized, but the display shoe is 100% overstretched and couldn’t even be salvaged with an insole.

Color affects fit???

I loved these black slides when I tried them in the store. I wear a size 6 but went down to a 5, which fit even better. Unfortunately, they did not have a 5 in Black at the store, so they had a pair sent to me. However, that mailed pair was too small, unlike the one I tried in the store (which was not in black). I couldn’t get my left foot in, and barely my right. What gives? Color? Had to return. . .

Great looking shoe. Comfortable and trendy.

Great quality and stylish. I’m a UK size 4.5 and I bought a 4.5. Perfect fit. The suede means that they will accommodate wider feet well too. The colours are lovely and neutral. They go with lots of different outfits. Be aware that these do have a high arch support foam attached to the insole, so if you are more flat footed, you may want to peel off this foam arch for comfort.

Meh - but I’ve never liked adidas anyway

Trainers are ok but insoles are loose and colour isn’t as described. My daughter wanted these for her bday. Office had the last pairs in her size so I ordered. They arrived in a box that looked like it had seem some stuff; this box was battered and torn and falling apart - but that’s ok, we’ve all loved a little and it’s what’s inside that counts right? The shoes are ok. More blue than the ‘off white’ as advertised but it’s all good. My daughter still likes them so we roll. Except the insoles aren’t attached. Like in normal trainers the insole is part of the shoe itself? With these it’s not. One is kind of stuck in but the other is a sentient being and has a will and life of its own. It’s just living life all loosey goosey. In all honesty I would’ve sent them back - ... MoreTrainers are ok but insoles are loose and colour isn’t as described. My daughter wanted these for her bday.

In all honesty I would’ve sent them back - but being one of only three pairs left in that size in the free world my daughter didn’t want to risk losing the shoes she really wanted so we’re now looking at either super gluing the insoles in or buying separate insoles that, whilst still unattached, might be a bit more long lasting

So comfortable

Was a bit sceptical to hop onto the adidas spezial trend seeing as though I have my trusty new balances, Nike’s a few other designer etc etc, however, I couldn't be more satisfied with my choice. From the moment I unboxed them, I was impressed by the sleek and classic design that Adidas is known for.Comfort is key in any shoe, and the Spezial trainers deliver which again I did not expect as they’re not the usual ‘chunky’ style trainer I’d reach for. The cushioned insole and supportive fit make them perfect for all-day wear, whether I'm out for a casual stroll, running errands or when I’m business casual in the office. These trainers pair effortlessly with various outfits, from jeans to work wear, now making them a staple in my wardrobe.

Stunning!

I have been looking at spezials for ages & couldn’t decide on which colour, there’s too many to choose from! As soon as I saw these and they had them in my size they were straight in my basket. I was unsure about what size to order as I have a wider foot and some reviews were saying they were quite narrow. I ordered my usual size and they are true to size and so comfortable with great arch support. This colour way is so gorgeous and perfect for spring/summer. Will 100% be purchasing more spezials in different colours. An absolute staple shoe.

cute but runs big

When I saw these on the site in most of the sizes I thought i was seeing things. The Spezial on the Adidas site in this color and like most of the popular colors has been OOS for months. I read the reviews saying to size down so I sized down from a 6 to a 5.5 and they are still too big, which is crazy considering. In most athletic sneakers I have to size up half an size and for leisure type I size down half, if at all. I checked the site again and they were OOS in my size...in most sizes actually. I'm going to try to walk around the house wearing thicker socks and see if that works, but the half ankle style sock tends to be on the less thicker side so unless I stick with no-show it's somewhat limiting. Might even add one of those foot pedals on the back of end of ... MoreWhen I saw these on the site in most of the sizes I thought i was seeing things.

Might even add one of those foot pedals on the back of end of the shoe to prevent slipping, if I decide they are keepers. They are super cute. I appreciate Nordie's site made note that customers say the shoe runs big but honestly that's something Adidas should include in their description. Sizing charts rarely offer helpful enough advice, it suggested my regular size 6.
